Led · Seed · Mar 2023
Mozilla.ai is a wholly owned subsidiary launched by the Mozilla Foundation to build an open-source, trust-first AI stack. The company plans to focus initially on trustworthy recommendation systems and large language models similar to GPT-4, and to ship code this year while working over multiple years to effect broader change. Its initial hiring target is roughly 25 engineers, scientists, and product managers. Mozilla.ai is structured as a startup (not a nonprofit) and is open to spinning out successful projects into standalone products or companies. The organization positions itself as part research firm, part community and aims to create allied networks of companies, researchers and governments. Financially, it was funded by a $30 million seed investment from the Mozilla Foundation, Mozilla’s parent organization.
